Chrono Triggered: Remake or Mistake? | State of the Arc Podcast

from State of the Arc Podcast · host Resonant Arc

If Chrono Trigger doesn't need a remake, is there any value in remaking it anyways? What if it does need a remake? Does a remake of Chrono Trigger have anything to offer newer audiences? Or is the whole "new audiences" shtick a gimmick to turn all our conversations about a beloved game into discussions on the merits and demerits of the remake itself (as has happened to many other games that are reintroduced in this manner). Or should these studios stop trying to rewrite the past and get back to making new games? In this episode, we discuss how a remake could impact future generations, for better or for worse. There is the possibility that a remake of Chrono Trigger will have much to offer even older fans of the original game. Here's the straw poll for voting on which remake to cover first: https://strawpoll.com/Dwyo3MDM0yA Time Codes: 1. Intro (0:00) 2.
